Could The iPhone Be Coming To Three? (UPDATED!)

With the Vodafone Hutchison merger all approved and whatnot, the big question now is whether or not Three will be getting their great-valued hands on the iPhone. And eagle-eyed tipster Ryan reckons it might be a possibility, with certain hints from 3's website.
